Continent's biggest spring dairy show comes this weekend to New York State fairgrounds, officials say

Geddes, NY -- Some of the nation’s most valuable dairy cows will be on display during the New York Spring Dairy Carousel from Friday through Monday at the New York State Fairgrounds in Geddes, west of Syracuse.

The event, billed as the largest spring dairy show in North America, is expected to draw breeders from more than 20 states and Canada, fair officials said. They are expected to bring more than 1,000 head, some valued in excess of several hundred thousand dollars, to vie for show titles.

Doors open at 8 a.m. each day. Admission is free and visitors are welcome at the Toyota Exhibit Center, where the cows will be housed and prepared for competition, and the Coca-Cola Coliseum, where the animals will be judged.
